An on-board camera system includes an imaging unit configured to capture an image around a vehicle, a wide-angle image generation unit configured to generate a wide-angle image of a desired size by performing reduction processing of the image obtained by the imaging unit, a standard image generation unit configured to generate a standard image of the desired size by extracting an image of a predetermined region from the image obtained by the imaging unit such that an optical axis of the image and the image size are the same as those of the wide-angle image, and an application processing unit configured to execute application processing using each of the wide-angle image and the standard image.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An on-board camera system comprising: a single camera configured to capture an image around a vehicle; a wide-angle image generation unit configured to generate a wide-angle image of a desired size by performing reduction processing of the image obtained by the single camera; a standard image generation unit configured to generate a standard image of the desired size by extracting an image of a predetermined region from the image obtained by the single camera such that an optical axis of the image and the image size are the same as those of the wide-angle image; and an application processing unit configured to execute application processing using each of the wide-angle image and the standard image.
2. The on-board camera system according to claim 1 , wherein the single camera is configured to capture a Wide Quad Extended Graphics Array (WQXGA) image, and the wide-angle image and the standard image are Video Graphics Array (VGA) images.
3. The on-board camera system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a demosaicing processing unit configured to perform demosaicing processing on an image, wherein the wide-angle image generation unit and the standard image generation unit are configured to generate the wide-angle image and the standard image, respectively, from an image after demosaicing processing of the demosaicing processing unit.
4. The on-board camera system according to claim 2 , further comprising: a demosaicing processing unit configured to perform demosaicing processing on an image, wherein the wide-angle image generation unit and the standard image generation unit are configured to generate the wide-angle image and the standard image, respectively, from an image after demosaicing processing of the demosaicing processing unit.
